Guidelines Preparing pastel Heat and prepare: Turn your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Butter and dust a 9×9-inch baking dish with flour or line it with parchment paper so it can be easily removed.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This step is very important to give the cake a light texture.

Add the eggs and vanilla extract: Add the eggs one at a time, making sure each one is well mixed before adding the next. Add the vanilla essence.

Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add these dry ingredients a little at a time to the wet mixture, intercalating them with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until well combined.

Bake the pastel: Add the mixture to the baking mold prepared and left with a uniform consistency. Bake in hot oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Already the pastel is completely frozen in the mold on a rejilla.
